Ouméma Mamadali and Kabire Fidaali

Ouméma Mamadali, a Comorian, and Kabire Fidaali, a filmmaker, signed together what the press of the archipelago regards as the first film made in the Comoros. She wrote the screenplay and directed it; he took charge of the technical side and the camera, and she says that the female characters were born of their joint work. She was thus the first Comorian woman to direct a fiction film, which they produced themselves. A daily newspaper in Moroni ranks them among the country's first filmmakers, better known abroad than in the archipelago.
